Now I am going to show you how to massage the arms in a prone position. Add your oil use your effleurage strokes to apply the oil just don't rub in to much. Into the hands as well. Around the shoulder and now I am ready to get my stones. Again I use the medium size stones for working the body. I am going to start up by the trapezius around the shoulder. Into the deltoids and the triceps. Turning the stones intermittently until they start to cool down. Go lightly over the joints not putting pressure over the joints or the bony land marks. Into the forearms and just cupping the stones lightly with my hands. Putting pressure as needed and after checking with your client how the placement stones are and how the stones your using are. Is the temperature OK for you? OK, good. Then we can move into the hands and I can actually use these stones to do same compressions in the hands. Which is great for people who are working on computers. Using there hands all day and then I can also end just using my hands to finish the strokes. And that?s how you do hot stone massage on the arms in prone.
